The 1608 is built to the same exacting API build standards as our Vision consoles, Legacy consoles, and modular products.

Derived from the API Vision Automation System used extensively in the Vision and Legacy Plus consoles, API now offers an optional motorized fader automation system for the 1608 console called P-Mix. New console orders can be factory-fitted with P-Mix, and existing 1608 consoles can be ‘field retrofitted’ with new P-Mix automation systems.P-Mix Motorized Fader Automation System
